I can confirm those are the correct ones. I've fitted those to both a 2021 and 2024 Karoq. They can be a tight fit though...

You won't get any action from the dealer, they'll deny knowledge of a problem. Report it as a safety issue to the DVSA as I suggested above

that's because using the key blade forces the cover off damaging the catch. Using a screwdriver actually releases the catch properly and so doesnt damage it

@Cqrmine here's the post https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/436650-kessy-key-fob-battery-change/ go down to about the 4th post and it shows a picture of the inside of the key and the small tab that you are trying to free with the screwdriver

Just over two years on mine! Car new in Oct 24 and just started getting the 'Replace key battery warning' . Car not used frequently (I'm retired) , just two to three times a week. Already had Panasonic CR2032 spare batteries, replaced the one in my key , I guess the other key (which hardly gets used) will need replacing soon. Tried using the key blade to open the key as described in the manual but couldn't get it to work. Found post on here showing exactly how to use small flat bladed screwdriver to release cover easily!

I heard an interesting one! My B-i-L got a nearly new Sportline Karoq a few months ago. He called me the other day to say his mirrors had suddenly gone 'dark' for a while. I queried whether it was just the internal one but he confirmed it was the external ones as well! Now I'd never heard of external light sensitive mirrors but some googling revealed that some Karoq's do have them. More research indicated that the internal mirror assembly has a rear facing and a forward facing light sensor. If the rear facing one detects its much brighter than the front, then it electrically dims the mirrors!. So why did his do it? Well the sun was reasonably bright at the time but not significantly more bright from the rear. We think we found the reason in the end though!. He had adjusted the cable going from his satnav and we guess that the inline choke module on the cable was blocking light to the front facing sensor!. He's since moved it and it hasn't happened again...

That's exactly what you would expect , the DSG is monitoring engine load (rpm & throttle position) and adjusting the gear change points accordingly so that the engine doesn't 'labour' and holds lower gears when load is higher!. Its no different on a 1.5 TSI with a dry clutch, gear change points are still dynamically adjusted.

That's because they probably wanted you to take the car in and pay them to investigate the fault! I've had the same issue but with using the global closing rather than opening. It happened a couple of times during the hot spells when I was trying to close the windows in the evening having left them open during the day. In my case it was one of the rear windows and a quick use of the reset sequence sorted it!

I gave mine a tankfull of Tesco Momentum a little while ago and honestly I didn't notice any difference, either in performance or fuel economy!

One (or more) of the windows needs its 'one-touch' operation resetting. This should reset it Close the window: Pull the window switch all the way up to the second detent until the window is completely closed. Keep holding the switch up for about 2 to 3 seconds after it shuts. Open the window: Push the switch all the way down to fully open the window, and hold the switch down for 2 to 3 seconds once it is fully open. Repeat closure: Pull the switch up once more to fully close the window and hold it for 2 to 3 seconds at the top.

@minsy something doesn't sound right with your car. My Karoq is similar mileage (6500 in 2 yrs) and the DSG is nothing like yours. On a light throttle it will change up at just over 2000rpm. To get it to not change until 3000rpm requires either sport mode or a lot of throttle! My main use of the paddles is to force a lower gear when going uphill as I find the DSG sometimes doesn't change down early enough! Did you get yours from new? if not, then as suggested above, maybe the previous owner was heavy footed and the DSG needs to re-learn your driving style

Was that going down Telegraph Hill by any chance ? Been there, done that! Its exactly what you'd expect from the DSG. 75mph in 6th is no-where near max rpm , so when you brake, the DSG will change from 7th to 6th to apply engine braking.

That sounds like there may be a sensor fault preventing the activation. IIRC Seat belt & drivers door switch are involved, are they working ok ? According to AI ( which of course could be wrong! ) A Škoda "Auto Hold currently unavailable" warning means the system cannot maintain brake pressure at a standstill. It is usually caused by an unfastened seatbelt, an open driver's door, a weak 12V battery, or a temporary electronic glitch. Normal braking remains fully operational.

Check that Auto hold is still enabled. IIRC The automatic parking brake only engages, on ignition off, if auto-hold is enabled

Everyone who is seeing this problem should report it to the DVSA https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-recalls-and-faults/report-a-serious-safety-defect That way , there's at least a chance that VAG will be forced to admit there's a problem
